You can ask it to give you 10 posting ideas for whatever your niche or thing is, and it'll give you some great ideas. I don't want my work to be stuck behind an academic paywall. I want to leave a legacy, I want to reach my potential and I want to change lives. This podcast Power your Research is my attempt to help the smartest people in the world do that very thing. My hope is that you use the lessons I share to make more money than what your higher ed job can ever pay you. I've done it, my clients have done it, and so can you. My hope is that you'll apply what you learn here and one day join the Power your Research program, where you can work with me one on one. I want to talk to you about three tips and ways that I've been using chat GPT to help in the brand building process, to cut hours off of the time spent in creating content, building content and also having my assistants use ChatGPT to do their jobs quickly, quicker than what it would normally take them. In my creative space, working with other creators on my creator side not the academic branding side I'm seeing producers of podcasts and shows use ChatGPT to cut down on time in various ways sound quality, audio quality and things like that. So let me give you three tips here that will really help with your content creation and putting content out and this is important for my average academic, because a lot of academics struggle with putting out content consistently and this will help you out a lot. So the first tip is I've been using ChatGPT to create 20 to 30 second voiceovers for my Instagram content. So over on Instagram, where I target my creators, my creative writers and that kind of thing, you know, I like to add a voiceover to my videos because they are highly engaging and those voiceovers, they need an inspirational tone, and so you know you can ask chat GPT to write a 20 second voiceover for an Instagram reel that is inspirational, talks to people about perseverance and not giving up, and so it'll spit out a very good quality, at least in this example, a very good quality 20 to 30 second voiceover where you'll likely just have to add some context, your own personal story, but the base of what it will send you is very good and that's been working well for me over on Instagram with really cutting down the time to write that. Now the other thing you can ask it to do is to write that voiceover text in the voice and tone of Oprah Winfrey, right? Or someone popular, the voice and tone of Barack Obama or whoever is a great, inspirational speaker, and it will do that pretty well. I've gotten some great engagement over there using that method. Hey, everyone, real quick. I've gotten some great engagement over there using that method. Hey everyone, real quick.

I don't run any ads on this podcast, so I have to rely on word of mouth. If this podcast has helped you in any way, please share it with a friend and follow me, dr Sheena Howard on LinkedIn, where I give more free content on building your brand as an academic. If you tell me you came to my LinkedIn from the podcast, I'll make sure I accept your request. The second tip is text content for your posts. So let's just take LinkedIn, for example.

Speaker 1:

If you're watching this on LinkedIn, you know I can ask chat GPT, you know. Write a 100 word LinkedIn post about the benefits of academics building a brand and it'll give me a pretty good version where you will have to, you know, think about it as a rough draft. You're getting a rough draft and you're going to have to go in there and modify and edit and clean up and make it what you want it, but it's going to give you a very good rough draft. It can even give you a very good rough draft of a reference letter for a student. It can even give you a very good rough draft of a reference letter for a student. I just used that the other day as well. And then you go in and you're going to have to add in your own personal examples, but it's going to cut down a lot of time.

Speaker 1:

And then the third way I've been using ChatGPT is for my Power, your Research blog, and this has been phenomenal. So you know, I can ask it to write a blog of a thousand words giving academics three ways to overcome imposter syndrome. And in that example that is an example that I've used and it gave me a really good rough draft. Now you have to go in and make it more applicable to your audience, the people that you're talking to. But it's a great place to start for content ideation, getting the ideas in the written form, so you can go and make it the thing that you want to make it. So those are three tips.

Speaker 1:

I think that you should jump into ChatGPT and start using it. Start asking it questions and giving it information so that you can get familiar with it. Complaining about in terms of not having enough time to create content, not knowing what to post, you can ask it to give you 10 posting ideas for whatever your niche or thing is, and it'll give you some great ideas. So start out using it in the ideation phase and, to cut down time, if you've experimented with it, let me know in the comments. Let me know your results and thoughts. If you have any questions, let's jump on a 30-minute call to talk about it. And again, if you're new here, my name is Dr Sheena Howard.
